Curtis Sliwa didn’t just talk about public safety—he built the Guardian Angels in 1979 when the city was collapsing and NYPD couldn’t keep up. While Mamdani votes to defund cops, calls them “occupiers,” and pushes restorative justice fantasies that let violent offenders walk, Sliwa’s actually patrolled subways, confronted criminals, and put his body between chaos and New Yorkers.
Mamdani’s “safety” plan? More unaccountable nonprofits, fewer cops, and excuses for every thug who terrorizes bodegas or shoves commuters onto tracks.
Sliwa’s lived the mission Mamdani’s DSA base mocks—because when the system fails, real leaders don’t post slogans. They show up.
